2. Use a precise training method
All the experts agree: the heart is the most important muscle in the body and, like all muscles, should be exercised
regularly to remain strong and efficient. But how can you determine whether you are exercising your heart both safely
and effectively?
Fortunately, the heart itself provides you with key information that will help you to examine the effectiveness and the
degree of safety of your training method.
Your heart rate, which is expressed in a single number (Beats Per Minute), gives a constant account of your body's
state of health.
Your heart rate will tell you how fast you are using energy or whether you are exercising too hard or too lax.
Obviously, your body does not benefit from a training method if your heart rate is too low. If it is too high, you run the
risk of injury and you will suffer from fatigue.
It does not matter whether your goal is to win athletics meetings, lose weight or simply to improve your overall health.
What is important is that you can refine your training method by keeping your heart rate within a certain target zone.
In order to accomplish this, you would obviously need to know your precise heart rate at any given moment
throughout your training session.
Modern technology has now enabled us to present you with wireless electronic pulse computers. Monitoring your
heart rate with one of these computers is easy and fun to do.
3. Know your limits and determine your personal exercise zone
Exercise zones are established by setting Upper and Lower Heart Rate Limits. These limits constitute a certain
percentage of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).
You may already know your MHR if you are an avid athlete or if you have already taken a Max. Heart Rate test. If
not, the following formula will help you to make an educated guess:
MHR = (220 – your age)
